A Financial Agreement (also known as a Binding Financial Agreement) is a written agreement entered into in accordance with the Family Law Act 1975. It deals with important issues including the division of assets, liabilities and financial resources in the event that the relationship breaks down. At Davoren Associates, we can guide you through this complicated matter.

While separation is emotionally difficult, it can also be financially difficult. At Davoren Associates, we offer to you, a meeting with one of our experienced solicitors during which we shall provide preliminary advice which aims to guide you through the steps of dividing your property.

If you have been financially dependent on your partner during your de facto relationship or marriage, you may find yourself with limited financial means upon separation. If you find yourself in this situation, you might have an entitlement to spousal maintenance from your partner (or to your partner).

There are a number of alternative dispute resolution processes that could be more beneficial than going to Family Law court, including Negotiation, Collaborative Practice, Mediation and Arbitration. Find out more about each of these dispute resolution methods.
